Marvin Mountain Highlands

Marvin Mountain Highlands raises Scottish Highland cattle in Centreville, MI, in St. Joseph County and southwestern Michigan near Kalamazoo.

Josh Allabach and Ashley Zimmer draw on years of experience raising Scottish Highland cattle, adhering to breed association guidelines and conducting routine health screening. Their cattle graze on rotational pasture, receive daily handling from birth and enjoy shelter in a well-ventilated barn during harsh weather. The farm’s rolling hills and forested boundaries provide natural forage and help maintain the breed’s hardiness.

Visitors often note the calm temperament of the animals, shaped by early socialization and consistent, low-stress handling. Their membership in national cattle associations supports ongoing education and collaboration with fellow breeders. Each calf is tagged and tracked from birth, with records kept on pedigree and performance to inform future breeding decisions.
